I was very interested in the original meaning of the word used in the original texts for what is commonly translated as “rebuke.” It seems to me there could be many nuanced meanings found in this verse and I’m curious. I’d like to go back to the original word used and explore it in more depth.

And if you can recommend good resources for this kind of linguistic study from the original texts and the words used in them, I would appreciate any guidance.

I have an app The Verbum Catholic Bible Study. It actually exceeds my needs right now. I think it was free in the AppStore. I heard about it when listening to Jimmy Aiken’s podcast. Besides several catholic bibles it has a slew of reference books including Greek New Testament.

Thank You, and God Bless You

The word means “to give top honour”. So for example if Jesus rebuked the winds, he demanded the respect that was due to him because he was above them. It is like playing a trump card.

And so on in every instance of the use of the word. eg Jude 9 The Lord rebuke thee. The Lord has top honours over the devil. Trumped.
